As they say, "When you travel, the more you see the more you know you haven't". We were lucky to have come across Global citizens as it has proved to be the right platform for virtual travel for kids and young adults.

The diverse topics covered has not only given wonderful travel experience to young minds, but has also given them an opportunity to know that travel is much more than sight seeing.

The sessions include cultural and historical importance of main cities. Apart from that, Interactive sessions, book and movie reviews, games, budgeting, role plays, cooking competition for foodies, music for music lovers, were some of the highlights of the programme. Would give a five star to Global Citizens of Tomorrow, looking forward to being a part of many more trips..
